FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Select Italy Lets Wait-Listed Ferrari Buyers Skip The Line and Get Behind the Wheel!

Chicago, IL June 29, 2007 -- According to a May 8, 2007 Wall Street Journal article, world demand has pushed the waiting period to purchase a new Ferrari to over two years. In the meantime, what’s the impatient Ferrari-loving customer to do? Chicago-based travel agency Select Italy has the answer! This Italy travel specialist, long known for letting its clients skip long lines at Italy’s museums, can help Ferrari-lovers get behind the wheel right away with its Italia in Ferrari tours.

Select Italy, a Chicago-based travel agency specializing exclusively in travel to Italy, has designed the Italia in Ferrari tours as private luxury get-aways for individuals, couples, small groups of friends, or business groups. These trips can function as great incentive programs for companies looking for a unique way to motivate their employees.

Select Italy makes these Ferrari tours to order with itineraries flexible enough to allow individual travelers to see and experience Italy exactly as they want. Driving in a fleet of the most up-to-date Ferraris, the lucky traveler and entourage can zip through the Tuscan hills along the famed auto-race route, the Mille Miglia, or jaunt up to Maranello to visit the Ferrari museum and complex.

Tours typically start in Rome or Florence and can include stops in the historic towns of Siena, Perugia and Orvieto and the medieval hill towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino, to savor the world’s finest wines. When guests are not on the road, the staff of Turin-based Red Travel takes care of the cars and luggage. The tours feature accommodations in five-star properties like the Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort in southern Tuscany and La Posta Vecchia on the coast near Rome. Tours can last anywhere from two days to six weeks. The sky is truly the limit on these luxury tours.

Typical tours start in price from $1,600 per person per night (double occupancy). A 15,000 Euro deposit is required per Ferrari and is returned at the end of the tour (less the cost for fuel and assuming no damages).
